This is nerdy as hell, and I love it. UC Berkeley freshman Derek L. My set out to upgrade his tiny little dorm room into a fully-automated teched-out automated study/party/makeout lair. Three months and several hundred dollars later, he's got BRAD, the Berkeley Ridiculously Automated Dorm, complete with auto-opening curtains, mood lighting and voice-activated music controls. Ridiculous:
Honestly, at first I thought the whole setup seemed rather silly, and an awful lot of effort to just to turn the lights on and off from your bed... but then it got to the "Romantic Mode," and I was all in. Player. Party in Derek's dorm room.
